In response to my post on the subject, Afra has given a response first, he says:
QUOTE Sachin said: "THE HINDU temples of central and southern India can be startlingly erotic. The temples of Khajuraho are the most explicit, being encrusted with statues of naked females - big-breasted and narrow waisted - doing naughty things with rampant men (see them on Google images). How can a religion be so pornographic?" UNQUOTE This quote is not mine but from the article the url of which was provided on this list. I had mentioned that this quote establishes that the author is a bigot, and some on this list agreed with me. Afra then goes on to say: QUOTE --- Afra says: Since when did Hinduism become a Religion? According to Vedantas:- Planet Venus is Lakshimi. (planet of beauty) Planet Jupiter is Brahma. (planet that saves the earth by attracting all the debris in the solar space) Planet Mercury is Ganesh. (planet of numbers) On and On it goes, All the rocks are Hindu Gods. Does this make Hinduism a Religion. Take fasting for example: This is one of the actions one has to take to keep oneself healthy - this is in the Vedantas as part of Yoga (Yoga is NOT just exercises, fasting is part of Yoga). Does these Rules make Hinduism a Religion. Porn is Sin - Sex is not. Afra. UNQUOTE I am not able to understand how this is relevant in context of the article and/or the comments that I made. Can he please amplify? Sachin Phadte _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
